DEAR DR. DONOHUE: I am 42 and exercise five days a week. I get the exercise in before I go to work. I am an accountant, so I pretty much am bound to a desk all day long. When I return home at the end of the workday, I spend most of the evening watching TV. Sometimes I read.

My wife says that I watch too much TV, and its undoing the good that my morning exercise provides. Do you believe that?

DK

DEAR DK: What your wife says has some truth to it. Prolonged inactivity does undermine the benefits won from exercise. Consider your day. You drive to work, and thats all sit-time. For most of the working day, you sit at a desk. When you get home, you sit in front of the TV. This is called sedentary time and has many unhealthy consequences.

For one, it raises the level of triglycerides in the blood. Triglycerides are fats, and they work in concert with cholesterol to plug arteries. It suppresses the production of HDL cholesterol good cholesterol, the kind that keeps arteries free of buildup. It interferes with glucose (blood sugar) utilization. Blood sugar rises. It fosters the development of the metabolic syndrome: a large belly, an unhealthy rise in your fasting blood sugar, a rise in triglycerides and a rise in blood pressure.

Long sessions of inactivity throughout the day can undo much of the good done by a solitary, daily exercise routine.

In order not to lose the benefits of your exercise and in order not to suffer the serious consequences of extended sedentary time, take activity breaks. When watching TV, get up and do something active. Walk. Climb stairs. Do sit-ups or push-ups. Even if you spend only the commercial times of TV in these exercise breaks, they will do wonders for you.

DEAR DR. DONOHUE: I have heard that athletes use a diet based on heavy consumption of V8 juice as part of a bulking-up process. Can you furnish any information on that?

HH

DEAR HH: V8 juice got its name because it contains eight vegetables: tomatoes, beets, celery, carrots, lettuce, parsley, watercress and spinach. Eight ounces has only 50 calories, no fats and no cholesterol. It contains both vitamin A and calcium. It has a somewhat-large amount of sodium and an equally large amount of potassium. It even provides 2 grams of fiber.

I believe V8 juice is a healthy drink. I have a hard time believing athletes use it to bulk up. They usually pick high-protein foods for that purpose.

DEAR DR. DONOHUE: I am a runner. When the weather is good (warm), I run on neighborhood roads, but when the weather turns sour (cold), I run on a treadmill. It seems to me that while both road and treadmill accommodate running, they foster two different kinds of running.

I feel like Im pushing off to move forward when Im road running, while on the treadmill it feels more like I am running in place as the treadmill comes to me. What are your thoughts?

JS

DEAR JS: On a treadmill, a runner automatically shortens his stride. Outdoors, the terrain is constantly changing, which adds a challenge to the running. Outdoors, the wind plays a role that has to be considered.

Both provide excellent exercise. Most treadmills can be adjusted so that the runner faces a change of incline that adds to the calorie cost of running.

I consider both nearly equal in benefits.

In the wake of the biggest dump of classified information in the history of the Army, the brass is searching for ways to watch what every soldier is doing on his or her Army computer.

The Army wants to look at keystrokes, downloads and Web searches on computers that soldiers use.

Maj. Gen. Steven Smith, chief of the Army Cyber Directorate, said the software was one of his chief priorities, joking that it would take the place of a lower-tech solution: A guy with a large bat behind every user as they go to search the Internet.

Now weve been in the news I dont know if youve seen it with a little insider threat issue, Smith continued.

Smith did not mention Pfc. Bradley Manning by name. However, the effort comes in the wake of the former intelligence analysts alleged leak of hundreds of thousands of pages of classified documents to the anti-secrecy organization WikiLeaks in 2009 and 2010. Manning faces a military trial on 22 counts, including aiding the enemy.

According to Smith, the Army will soon shop for software pre-programmed to detect a users abnormal behavior and record it, catching malicious insiders in the act. Though it is unclear how broadly the Army plans to adopt the program, the Army has more than 900,000 users on its computers.

Smith explained how it might work.

So Im on the South American desk, doing intelligence work and all of a sudden I start going around to China, lets say, Smith said. That might be an anomaly, it might be justified, but I would sure like to know that and let someone make a decision, almost at the speed of thought.

The scenario echoes the allegations against Manning: As an intelligence analyst charged with researching the Shiite threat to Iraqi elections, Manning raided classified networks for State Department cables, Afghanistan and Iraq war logs and video from a helicopter attack, according to courtroom testimony.

Software of the type Smith describes is at various stages of development in the public and private sectors. Such software could spy on virtually any activity on a desktop depending on its programming, to detect when a soldier searches outside of his or her job description, downloads massive amounts of data from a shared hard drive or moves the data onto a removable drive.

The program could respond by recording the activity, alerting an administrator, shutting down the users access, or by feeding the person dummy data to watch what they do next, said Charles Beard, a cybersecurity executive with the defense firm SAICs intelligence, surveillance and reconnaissance group.

Its a giant game of cat and mouse with some of these actors, Beard said.

Whats exciting, Smith said, is the possibility of detecting problems as they happen, on what cybersecurity experts call zero day, as opposed to after the fact.

We dont want to be forensics experts. We want to catch it at the perimeter, Smith said. We want to catch this before it has a chance to be exploited.

A governmentwide effort

The Armys efforts dovetail with a broader federal government initiative. President Obama signed an executive order last October that established an Insider Threat Task Force to develop a governmentwide program to deter, detect and mitigate insider threats.

Among other responsibilities, it would create policies for safeguarding classified information and networks, and for auditing and monitoring users.

In January, the White Houses Office of Management and Budget issued a memo directing government agencies that deal with classified information to ensure they adhere to security rules enacted after the WikiLeaks debacle.

Beyond technical solutions, the document asks agencies to create their own insider threat program to monitor employees for behavioral changes suggesting they might leak sensitive information.

The interagency Insider Threat Task Force is aiming to complete work on the new standards by October. These standards may address training and employee awareness protocols, said John Swift III, senior policy adviser to a task force now working on the draft policy.

Deanna Caputo, lead behavioral psychologist for Mitre Corp., said both technical solutions and monitoring of human behaviors are needed for a successful detection and prevention program.

To think that we can tackle the problem simply by technical solutions is a mistake, Caputo said.

A culture of reporting is essential, she said. We need to up the ante and expect a little bit more from our people to report abnormal behaviors among their co-workers. However, there is a fine line with that [reporting]. People need to trust they are in a safe environment to do their job.

Carnegie Mellons Software Engineering Institute has compiled 700 insider threat case studies, and come up with two broad profiles of insiders who steal intellectual property in business settings.

One is an entitled independent disgruntled with his job who typically exfiltrates his work a month before leaving. The other is an ambitious leader who steals information on entire systems and product lines, sometimes to take to a foreign country, such as China.

According to Patrick Reidy, who leads the FBIs insider threat program, such users may be conducting authorized activities for malicious ends, and their actions would not register on intrusion detection or anti-virus systems.

People look at computers and networks but not people and data, he said. The insider threat is all about people.

Reidy, Swift and Caputo discussed the effort at a defense industry convention in Washington, DC, on April 4.

The Pre-Crime division

Private industry and the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency are among the entities that have technological solutions in various stages of progress.

Raytheons SureView software captures any security breach or policy violation its programmed to find and can replay the event like a DVR, for a local administrator or others to view, according to the companys website. The softwares trigger is programmable and can be set to any behavior considered suspicious or not.

Working with Raytheon, a group of cadets from the US Military Academy at West Point last year conducted a simulation of an insider attack at a forward operating base. Cadets looked at how to fine-tune the way SureView detects potential threats and eliminate false positives for innocuous behavior, said West Point computer science professor Col. Greg Conti.

It was very powerful, very flexible and allowed you to monitor with very fine resolution activities on the desktop, and the real trick becomes how you detect anomalous behavior, Conti said. Predictive models are kind of the holy grail. When you see that no one else has done something but bad guys, you can start being predictive.

At SAIC, which is testing a behavior analytics system, Beard likened behavioral modeling to the Pre-Crime unit from the science fiction movie Minority Report. Instead of using psychics to stop crimes before they occur, the software would be programmed to detect behavior that has preceded malicious acts in the past.

In real life, researchers are examining the behavior of malicious insiders to see what actions they took before they acted out. That in turn would be used to teach the software what behavior to flag.

We may want to administer policies that say, Gee, gosh, why do you really want to download 300 [megabytes] of stuff or a gig of data in a single session? Beard said. We look for the antecedents of behavior that would suggest based on past history that bad things are going to take place.

That could be visiting restricted websites, requesting access to information outside of ones job description or asking for large amounts of storage media or likely some combination of the above. Individually, the actions may not seem problematic, but combined and in the context of human intelligence, they could raise alarms.

We start taking those things and recombining them to say, What is going on in the environment? Beard said. Any one of those things independently can be totally innocuous and innocent, but when you put them together plus their job, plus their access, plus the things they are working on you may be looking at it as a counterintel kind of thing.

Drawbacks and challenges

Cybersecurity expert Michael Tanji, an Army veteran who has spent nearly 20 years in the US intelligence community, said he sees potential drawbacks and unanswered policy questions. He asked how the Army would implement such technology without unintentionally stifling cross-disciplinary collaboration among soldiers.

Knowing they are being monitored, personnel might avoid enterprising or creative behavior for fear it would be flagged by monitoring software, he said.

Tanji also predicted the technology would come at a considerable financial cost, both to warehouse the data collected by the software and to pay the added staff needed to monitor the reports it generates.

A brigade-sized element that uses computers on a regular basis would probably need a company-sized element just to keep up with the data that comes in, he said.

Reidy, the FBI official, said such concerns were valid. Because software may report benign behavior as malicious and vice versa, he cautioned against using technical solutions alone to solve insider threats.

After a major incident, and no offense to any vendors, but the charlatanism always goes up, he said. Its absolutely amazing how many phone calls I get from people who say they have solved the WikiLeaks problem or solved this or that problem. Everybodys got to eat, but its simply not true.

Finding bad behavior amid the vast sea of keystrokes, downloads and Web browsing on military computers is no easy task, DARPA acknowledges.

A DARPA solicitation for Suspected Malicious Insider Threat Elimination, or SMITE, announces it is attempting to recognize moving targets telltale patterns of behavior amid enormous amounts of noise (observational data of no immediate relevance).

The program, based in behavioral science, would have to distinguish anomalous behavior from normal behavior, and deceptive and malicious behavior from anomalous behavior, the solicitation reads.

A solicitation for another program Anomaly Detection at Multiple Scales, or ADAMS uses accused Fort Hood shooter Maj. Nidal Hasan to frame the problem. It asks how to sift for anomalies through millions of data points the emails and text messages on Fort Hood, for instance using a unique algorithm, to rank threats and learn based on user feedback.

The program is trying to look beyond computers to spot the point when a good soldier turns, whether that means homicidal or suicidal or ready to dump stolen data.

When we look through the evidence after the fact, we often find a trail sometimes even an obvious one, the solicitation states. The question is, can we pick up the trail before the fact, giving us time to intervene and prevent an incident? Why is that so hard?

Manufacturing in the US, seen by many as a major motivator of the recovery, expanded at the fastest rate in nearly half a year in April, growing to a 10-month high.

A monthly index compiled by the Institute for Supply Management showed a 54.8 level, up 1.4 points from March in its 33^rd straight month of growth. Its the largest gain since Novembers 1.9-point jump.

The overall economy grew for the 35^th straight month, according to ISM. Any reading above 50 shows expansion; below indicates contraction.

Of the 18 industries measured by the ISM, factory activity grew at 16 of the them, including for machinery, paper, transportation equipment, and petroleum and coal.

Surveyed companies said demand was stable to strong, though some said they were worried about high oil prices and questionable European stability.

Another index measuring new manufacturing orders came in at 58.2 a 3.7-point improvement on March and a 12-month high. Demand for durable goods was up across the board for the first time since December 2010.

A gauge of employment also grew faster, up 1.2 points to a 10-month high of 57.2 in April.

The combination of exercising and using a computer — although presumably not at the same time — may protect older adults against mild cognitive impairment, a case-control study showed.

Older individuals who reported getting any amount of moderate exercise and using a computer at any point in the previous year were 64% less likely to have mild cognitive impairment compared with those who reported neither activity (OR 0.36, 95% CI 0.20 to 0.68), according to Yonas Geda, MD, of the Mayo Clinic in Scottsdale, Ariz., and colleagues.

There was a significant additive interaction between physical activity and computer use (P=0.01), the researchers reported in the May issue of the Mayo Clinic Proceedings.

Physical activity and various mentally stimulating activities, including computer use, have been associated with a reduced risk of having mild cognitive impairment, but no studies had explored the combined impact.

So Geda and colleagues examined data from the Mayo Clinic Study of Aging, an ongoing population-based study of individuals living in Olmsted County, Minn. The current analysis included 926 men and women, ages 70 to 93, who did not have dementia.

Overall, 12% had mild cognitive impairment, defined according to the following criteria:

• A cognitive concern expressed by a physician, informant, patient, or nurse
• Impairment in executive function, memory, language, or visuospatial cognition
• Normal functional activities
• No dementia

Median daily caloric intake was significantly higher for those with mild cognitive impairment (2,100 versus 1,802 calories, P=0.004), and that was accounted for in all analyses. The researchers also controlled for age, sex, education, medical comorbidity, and depression.

The percentage of patients who reported getting any moderate exercise and using a computer during the previous year was 36% among those who had normal cognition and 18.3% among those who had mild cognitive impairment. The difference was significant after adjustment for potential confounders (P=0.001).

Although the case-control design of the study precluded conclusions about causality, the researchers speculated about some potential mechanisms to explain the finding.

The combined presence of having participated in both physical exercise and computer use may be a marker of a healthy and disciplined lifestyle, they wrote.

On the other hand, it is possible that the combined activities may have direct beneficial effect on the brain, they continued. Physical exercise may target a particular circuit in the brain (eg, increasing the production of brain-derived neurotrophic factor in the hippocampus), whereas cognitively stimulating activity (eg, computer use) may enhance functional connections contributing to cognitive reserve.

The authors acknowledged that study was limited by the lack of information on duration of computer use and possible recall bias.

HOUSTON, May 3, 2012 /PRNewswire via COMTEX/ –
Private equity (‘PE’) interest in the U.S. oil and gas industry marked at least a 20-year high during the first quarter of 2012, as the volume of mergers and acquisitions (M&A) reached 11 transactions, which had a total deal value of $11.5 billion, a 120 percent increase in activity when compared to the same period in 2011, according to PwC US.

For the three month period ending March 31, 2012, there were a total of 44 oil and gas deals with values greater than $50 million, accounting for $34 billion in deal value, which was essentially unchanged from the 45 deals representing $34.6 billion during the same period last year. However, there was a small uptick in first quarter average deal size in 2012 to $773 million from $768 million during the first quarter of 2011, driven by nine ‘mega’ deals (deals with values of $1 billion or more).

On a sequential basis, deal volume in the first quarter of 2012 dipped from the 48 deals in the fourth quarter of 2011, with total deal value in the first quarter this year seeing a significant decline from the $80.5 billion from the previous quarter – a 58% decline quarter-to-quarter. The decline in deal value, according to PwC, can largely be attributed to depressed natural gas prices.

“Although deal activity has remained consistent year-over-year, we are beginning to see a softening of deal flow when compared to the past few quarters,” said Rick Roberge, principal in PwC’s energy M&A practice. “This past quarter, however, was a watershed moment for private equity activity and we’re seeing an increased appetite from these investors to deploy their dry powder in oil and gas transactions. The 10-year low natural gas prices have attracted PE as they see opportunity getting in at the bottom and are taking a long-term view of natural gas pricing. Corporates, meanwhile, view natural gas plays at these prices as a challenge to the industry. And while a majority of PE activity has been in the upstream sector, we may see a trend toward growing investments in the downstream space with an eye towards refineries, an area which has had very limited activity.”

There were 18 corporate transactions with values greater than $50 million, with a total deal value of $15.8 billion. Twenty-six asset deals contributed $18.2 billion, or 53 percent of total first quarter deal value. When compared with the first quarter of 2011, there were seven more corporate transactions in the first quarter of this year, although total deal value dropped from the $17.5 billion that was generated during the first three months of 2011. The number of asset transactions declined from 34 deals in the first quarter of 2011, but average deal value jumped 40 percent in the first quarter of 2012 to $700 million.

For deals valued at over $50 million, upstream deals made up 61 percent of activity in the first quarter of 2012 with 27 transactions, accounting for $20.1 billion, or 59 percent of total first quarter deal value. Oilfield services contributed seven deals worth $2.5 billion. Six midstream and four downstream deals contributed $7.0 billion and $4.3 billion in value, respectively.

According to PwC, there were 13 deals with value greater than $50 million related to shale plays in the first quarter of 2012, totaling $8.4 billion, or 28 percent of total deal value. In the upstream sector, shale deals represented 33 percent of total upstream deal value in the first quarter of 2012, accounting for nine deals with a total value of $5.3 billion.

Included in all the shale-related deals in the first quarter of 2012 were two transactions involving the Marcellus Shale totaling $2.9 billion and one Utica Shale deal that contributed $112 million.

“Natural gas prices are having an impact on shale M&A, with total deal value down about 22 percent when compared to the first quarter of 2011,” said Steve Haffner, a Pittsburgh-based partner with PwC’s energy practice. “Companies with interests in the Marcellus Shale are focused on maximizing their returns on earlier transactions and managing their existing operations and cash flow in light of the depressed gas prices. We expect M&A activity to slow in the region throughout the remainder of the year as players wait for improved natural gas prices. That ‘wait and see’ approach is also impacting activity in other shale plays like the Utica Shale.”

For deals valued at over $50 million, foreign buyers announced five deals in the first quarter of 2012, which contributed $4.3 billion, versus six deals valued at $8.0 billion in the same period last year.

“International players are still investing in a major way through joint ventures in U.S. shale plays as they’re attracted to the country’s stable economic and political environment and gaining the technology in shale resource plays. We believe that interest from foreign buyers will remain throughout 2012,” added Roberge. “Another development that we believe will continue to get increased attention is the increase in permits for drilling in the Gulf of Mexico over the past year. Companies looking to gain exposure to conventional sources of energy are looking more closely at the Gulf for opportunities – and although M&A activity has been slow to come back in the region, the fact that permits are on the rise is evidence that the Gulf is back in business.”

PwC’s Oil & Gas M&A analysis is a quarterly report of announced U.S. transactions with value greater than $50 million analyzed by PwC using transaction data from IHS Herold.

Looking back to 1974, I remember a time not so different from today, in at least one way: The price of gas had doubled over a short period of time. We had a rationing system in place, so motorists were worried there wouldnt be any gas the next day. Many waited in long lines to top off their tanks, even if they only needed one gallon. I didnt like waiting in line and I couldnt envision paying 78 cents a gallon, either! I had a 15-mile round trip to work in Sacramento. I wondered if I could ride a bike to work. I had never ridden a 10-speed, but on that February weekend, I drove to a bike shop to consider buying one. A few hours later, I spent $110 on a Raleigh Grand Prix 10-speed, a bicycle that would serve me for 40,000 miles.

That same day, I embarked on my trial commute trip. Since I was still participating in various sports, I wasnt in bad shape, so the round trip wasnt too arduous. Although, it took a few days to get used to the effects of riding on a bike saddle. Now, 85,000 miles later, Im still a bicycle commuter. (We call it commuting if you ride to work, school, shop, visit or otherwise use your bicycle for transportation purposes.)

SAN FRANCISCO (MarketWatch) — If you’re wondering whether shares of Zynga Inc. might be ready for a bounce after their monthlong slide, a clue can be found in the recent trades of company insiders.

With its recently completed secondary offering, Zynga found an innovative way to allow its top executives, early investors and other insiders to sell off their stakes — despite IPO restrictions designed to prevent it.

Splunk and the hunger for IPOs

As they sell, common shareholders unwise enough to have bought IPO shares in the company have watched their investments fall through the floor.

Since Zynga filed the registration statement for its secondary offering on March 14, the stock has shed more than 25% of its value. It’s now sitting at around $9, roughly 10% below its IPO price of $10 a share.

Between the registration date of the offering and the day it closed on April 3, Zynga’s IPO bankers, led by Goldman Sachs and Morgan Stanley, agreed to modify the lockup restrictions that previously had prevented the social-game maker’s insiders from selling their shares.

And sell they did.

By the time the cash register closed, Zynga Chief Executive Mark Pincus and other insiders unloaded more than 49 million shares at a price of $12 a share. The offering, which included more than 6 million shares bought by the company’s IPO underwriters, generated $593 million for the sellers, while providing nothing to Zynga or its common shareholders.

As the company said in its April 3 statement, “Zynga did not receive any proceeds from the sale of shares in the offering.”

While that statement also said a reason for the offering was “an orderly distribution of shares,” I’m not sure common shareholders would use that phrase to describe a near-30% drop in Zynga’s stock price since it was announced.

Zynga will report quarterly results on April 26.

Groupon’s turn

As I’ve been writing for more than a year, both Zynga and Groupon Inc. are among a group of young companies that have allowed insiders to cash out without waiting for an IPO.
Read how Facebook, Twitter, Zynga bubbles are minting millionaires.

Since Groupon

 said on March 30 that it would restate results for the fourth quarter and all of 2011, its stock is down roughly 35%.

In case you missed it, the daily-deals company also said it was extending the expiration of its IPO lockup date to June 1. That’s when Groupon insiders will be able to dump even more shares than they have already.

Groupon will report quarterly results on May 14.

These tech IPOs have been great vehicles for executives, early investors and other insiders to cash out their stakes, courtesy of professional money managers who bought IPO shares with other people’s money. If you have retirement money in any tech-sector growth funds, some of that money is likely yours.

With Groupon’s market cap now around $7.1 billion and Zynga’s down to $6.5 billion, some investors might be tempted to wade into these stocks in hopes of a bounce. In fact, many traders predict that these new tech issues will get a ride on the coattails of Facebook Inc.’s

 IPO, expected next month.

No doubt the trading desks of Morgan and Goldman will be working the phones to find buyers of all those Zynga shares for which they just paid insiders $12 each. Once Groupon insiders can dump their shares, its IPO bankers will be shilling that stock as well.

Yet stock-market history suggests that insiders usually buy or sell shares of their companies at the right time.

So far, nearly all the insider activity in Zynga — as with Groupon — has been selling.
